Students and teachers might be compared to musicians playing
the huge symphony of our school, throbbing and pulsing with human
drama. Interwoven themes of despair, triumph, sorrow, and joy blend
into a mighty swelling crescendo of music.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson

We appreciate your response to our request for an alma mater song
for Hobart High Scrool.

Last June at the first staff meeting, we discussed a possible theme
for the 1954 Memories. Because we felt that Hobart had long been in
need of a hymn to be sung on serious occasions, the staff decided to
ask you to write the song.

We sincerely hope that this song will become one of the cherished
traditions of Hobart High School.

We students true,

Pledge thee our love
And give support to you.

. . . seniors take over entire school

These seniors had a view of many of the problems that face
the school board. As members of the board they had the oppor-
tunity to discuss current issues and to meet with students who

presented problems that are common around school. The capable
seniors who are shown here with Mr. Garver are Ralph Kerwin,
Doug Williams, Dave Epperson, Dave Bood, Loretta Massa, and
Jasper Hopkins.

Jim Mair, one of the fortunate seniors who started the Senior Day
tradition, replaced teaching principal Joseph Phillips from West Hobart
Elementary School.

Adoring students abandoned their play to crowd
around their student teachers — Marlene Howell, Jackie
Ahlgrim, and Jim Johnston — at recess time.

“I wonder how those poor teachers do it,” re-
marked Gene Clemens as he collapsed in his chair
after a busy day of acting as high school principal.

In his experience as a grade school principal Jim Mackey found it
necessary to use a bit of discipline. The moral of his little lecture to a
problem child could well be “Be a good boy or you’ll grow up to be like me.”

system . . . another new tradition . . .

April Fool’s Day was no joke to this hard working senior faithfully the schedule listed on the board. For one entire diy

who took over a sixth grade at Liberty. Ted Milenkoff followed the seniors were supreme in the Hobart educational system.

“Come on, Gene, let’s go!” With crepe paper flying, horns
honking and students yelling, excitement really filled the air
on the big campaign day. It was really a sight to behold — two
parades, in one day. A convertible with the Purple Ticket can-
didates, Minnie French and Gene Clemens led the gala affair.
As everyone knows by now, the Purple Ticket was the victor
in the election.

. . . it's September

All set to start their parade are Eleanor Zunich and Curt Nelson,
candidates on the Gold Ticket. Led by a police escort, the parade
formed in front of the school and went down Main Street and other
parts of town where students stood in groups to watch and cheer
their favorites. By the time everyone was ready to go to the polls,
they had seen their share of campaigning.

campaign time . . .

Congratulations and handshakes were in order for the new
mayor, Gene Clemens, and clerk treasurer, Minnie Sue French,
as they took office in September. Mr. Moody, and the losing can-
didates, Curt Nelson and Eleanor Zunich, were the first to offer
their best wishes. Our 1953-1954 mayor has been an enthusiastic

leader in guiding the student body through a successful school
year. He has been the spark plug behind the school drives and
accomplishments, with the aid of an equally enthusiastic council,
cheer leaders, and the student body as a whole.

Displaying some of the tools that are so helpful to
shop boys, Mr. Thomas Farlow, freshman shop teacher,
explains the use of one of the tools to a parent visiting
the shop. Modern equipment plays a very important part
in shop safety and a help in the building of fine furnishings.

Many offers were received by June Miller from teachers for her first
oil painting which she did in art class. Miss Gentry points out some of
the outstanding features of June’s work to Mrs. Miller, her proud mother.
The paintings were displayed on Back To School Night along with other
works of art.

early western frontier settlement. In the background are character
dolls dressed in costumes of early American history.

A beautiful flowered crown for the Queen was received by
Georgia May Eagle. The evening’s program began with the queen
and her court being driven onto the football field in a convertible.
It didn’t seem to take long for the first half to end because it
was such a close game. The half time program was begun by the

band marching. Then the three chosen members of the H-Men’s
club escorted Queen Georgia Eagle, with Betty Moody, and Loretta
Massa, her attendants, to the center of the field. There Phil
Millus crowned Georgia Homecoming Queen.

. . . homecoming - the game -

The climax of the Homecoming dance was the Grand March
led by the queen, her court and their escorts. As the Queen and
her court descended the stairway onto the dance floor, a fanfare
was played by Lorenz Kenney’s band. Queen Georgia then
ascended to the throne to pose for newspaper photographers.

After pictures were taken Georgia with Dick Netzhammer, her
escort, led off the next dance. The Homecoming dance was a
big success with both students and graduates of Hobart High
School attending.

These spirited sophomores added $5.00 to their class treasury
by devising this clever fate for the Bulldogs. This was a bit
better than last year’s tie for “booby.” Paint brushes flew until
the last minute, and when the winners were announced, it was

the class of ’56 that took top honors. Mary Lee Phillips, Connie
Clingan, Annette Yelkich, Elaine Thyen, and Pat Hagle witness
as Richard Berg, Pat Morehouse, Judy Wesley, and Margie Neil
attend to one of the unfortunates.

the dance - those crazy displays . . .

The class of ’55 marred its past record of two firsts by having
second best display this year. This group of juniors helped Yohan
make a fool of the Crown Point mascot. That night the Brickies
followed through with a victory. Kneeling: Mary Jane Kurth,

Gayle Huminsky, Don Shinneman. Standing: Colleen Dotson,
Beverly Mehalic, Barbara Klindt, Shirlee Caldwell, Yohan, and
Dick Netzhammer.

The sophomore class party was one of the most colorful and
hilarious affairs of the year. Masqueraders represented animals
and people of all types. Captain Kidd danced with a white rabbit,

and even Gorgeous George was there to add to the excitement.
Costumes were judged for prizes, and dancing, refreshments, and
games made the “Mardi Gras” a complete success.

“I knew Lincoln” was the theme of the ronvo presented by Kirk
Bennett on February 18. Mr. Bennett portrayed Billy Brown, who
ran the store where Abraham Lincoln and his friends gathered to
tell stories and argue around the stove.

What masquerade would be complete without flapper girls?
Rosalind Boughamer, Jo Ann Cicillian, and LaVonne Spense
modeled this rakish garb of the roaring twenties.

Corsages and lighted candles added color and atmosphere to
Mr. Harold Moody, principal, had the honor of presenting the the ceremony. There were both smiles and serious thoughts as

charter of Hobart high school’s newly organized Britannican chapter the first members of the Britannican chapter of Future Teachers
of the Future Teachers of America to Janet McMurtry, president. of America signed their names to the charter.

“And a good time was had by all!” This was the exclamation
of those juniors who attended their class party in March. The
decorations — - crepe paper, sparkling stars, and a huge moon —
carried out the theme of “Blue Moon.” The juniors attending
enjoyed dancing to the orchestra of Lorenz Kenney. Entertainment

for the evening was provided by Janet Severence, electric guitar
and Barbara Klindt, who gave a monologue, both girls, members
of the class. Refreshments were served from an attractive table
decorated in the class colors.

13

The expression on the faces of these students can mean only
one thing — Victory! And victory it was, not only for the basket-
ball team, but for the Brickie Boosters as well. The crowd of
students shown here are only a part of the many fans who filled
the Hobart section at tourney time.

The enthusiastic followers cheered the Brickies into the final
game of the Gary sectional. The loyalty of the fans was especially
displayed during the game against the hard playing Panthers of
Roosevelt. Brickie fans refused to let their plucky team down, as
the Brickies themselves refused to allow the Panthers to win with-
out a hard fought battle to the end.

This bright sign in the study hall attracted a great deal of
attention a week before the sectionals. It was one of the many
projects undertaken by the student council to arouse enthusiasm
for the sectional tourney.

On the day of the sectionals the Hobart caravan with twelve
cars bulging at the seams, set out for Memorial Auditorium, horns
blowing, students yelling, and banners waving.

14

Participants in the Yohan’s Revue, an all school talent show
were Betty Moody, pianist; Phyllis Gibson and Jeannine Brown,
vocal duet; Joyce Anderson, pianist; Sally LePell, pantominist;
Mary Cortese, pianist; Sandra Allison, pianist; and Gwen Neitzel,
assistant to the master of ceremonies, seated. Frank Kaplon,
soloist: Lewis Hill and Ray Daves, duet: Cecil Neyhart, guitarist

and singer: Barbara Cisman, accordionist: Jim Mackey, master

David Henley, the Caravan Quartet, standing. Winners were Betty
Moody, first prize: Lewis Hill and Ray Daves, second prize: and
Cecil Neyhart. third prize.

"Blue Hawaii" was the theme of the Semi-Formal, one of the
biggest occasions of the year. Through the combined efforts of
Debuteen and G.A.A. club members, the gym was transformed into

a tropical paradise w ith colorful flowers, palm trees, and glittering
stars. Happy couples danced to soft music or sat at candle lighted
tables and commented on the loveliness of the affair.

Hail, all hail, Hobart High School

The director, the concert master, and all the section leaders help os to
interpret our music — not only to play correctly but also to interpret the
spirit, feeling, and thought of the Master Composer. They assist those with
less experience, passing on their own knowledge, thus helping to create a
stirring, thrilling symphony, which may inspire us in composing our own
great music.

r

we students true

Our symphony is comprised of four movements — the four years we
spend in high school — introduced by a prelude in two parts spent in jun-
ior high.

The melody is the closely woven spirit of Hobart High School, possible
because of the close class, sports, and activities association between students
and teachers. From this association — an easy, informal, co-operative friend-
liness — is molded a valuable part of our character.

“I like this one,” says Beverly Ramsay, senior class sec-
retary as President Doug Williams; Treasurer Sheila Reese;
and Vice-president David Bood join her to look over the sam-
ples of caps and gowns to be chosen by the senior class.

These are seniors? ! ! ! These strange-looking crea-
tures roamed the halls every Senior Hobo Day. On these
days many weird and outlandish costumes appeared. Here
a group gathers in a merry crowd on the stairway of the
senior locker room.

Measurements for caps and gowns were taken one day
in the government and economics classes. The “long and
short” of the picture — only two of the different types
of seniors — are Ronald Dunkelbarger and Joyce Muir.

A familiar sight in senior homeroom is President Doug
Williams pounding his gavel to bring the 162 seniors in
313 to order. Making plans for the senior trip, ordering
announcements, selecting caps and gowns, and voting for
the Senior Photographer were a few of the round of
activities he had to keep going.

Glittering tinsel, colorful ornaments, and bright lights
adorn the traditional Christmas tree in the senior high
study hall. Carol Stolp, Janet McMurtry, and Loretta
Massa work after school to bring the Yuletide spirit and
cheer to Hobart High School.

Part of the Senior Day Ad-
ministrative Staff that took
over the work of the school
for the day.

Like full rests in a symphony, so are varied activities the rhythmic
refreshers in high school. Notes cannot be cast haphazardly upon paper
by a composer. There must be an established pattern and rhythm. Students
cannot study day after day with no recreation to relieve an otherwise monot-
onous routine. Realizing this, Hobart High School furnishes an extensive
program of extra-curricular activities.

HILMER JACOBSON
Director

The a capella choir this year gained additional prestige with
their splendid performance of selections from Handel’s “Messiah.”

Much hard work and many extra practices were needed to put
on this most difficult of all oratorios. It was necessary to hire
outside soloists who did a splendid job. The guest soloists were
Miss Charlotte Domroese, contralto; Mrs. Kenneth Bullock, so-
prano; Mr. Ralph Corrie, tenor; and Mr. Richard Lewke, bass.

Never before has Hobart’s a capella choir been able to ac-
complish such a great undertaking. Each year Mr. Jacobson has
added depth and quality which has resulted in a choir that has
won fame and of which we can be justly proud.

The a capella choir presented the students with a wonderful
Christmas gift by singing our new Alma Mater hymn at the Christ-
mas convocation. This is the first year Hobart has ever had an
Alma Mater song.

The traditional Vesper concert was held with the band and
a capella choir playing and singing Christmas favorites.

The spring agenda fulfilled all expectations as the choir gave
their spring concert on April 22. Several of their selections were
"Rain and the River,” “Adoramus Te,” “Lamb of God,” and
“Roll Chariot Roll.”

The choir had a busy year as they sang for the Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter convocations and prepared for their appear-
ance at the State Choral Contest.

The day before Christmas vacation started
the students of Hobart High School received
a very surprising Christmas present. A feu
of the members of the A Capella choir
walked through all of the halls of the school
singing Christmas carols. The carols they
sang were “Silent Night,” “Deck the Halls”
and “Adeste Fidelis.”

The 1953- ! 54 baton of the Hobart Concert Band was taken over by Mr.
Albert Leach, director, who attended the University of Illinois, University
of Wisconsin, and Michigan State College. The position of assistant direc-
tor was filled by Mr. Robert Webb. Mr. Webb attended the University of
111 inois and Indiana State Teachers’ College.

The annual “Pop” concert started the season on a busy program of
concerts. “Beautiful Galatea” was the outstanding feature of the “Pop”
concert.

“The Christmas Suite,” a selection of traditional Christmas carols, was
the feature at the annual Christmas Concert.

Celebrating the 29th annual Anniversary of the Concert Band, they
played several selections including “Marriage of Figaro” by Mozart, “Un-
finished Symphony” by Schubert and “The Rifle Regiment March” by
Sousa. Mr. Milan Yancich. guest soloist, played “Morceau de Concert” by
Saint Saens. Mr. Emmett Sarig, guest conductor from the University of
Wisconsin conducted a suite “Old American Dances” by Bennett.

School Band, Orchestra, and Vocal, Solo, and Ensemble
Contest held at Morton High School in Hammond. The
eight band members who received firsts and the seven
who placed second were able to go down state to Butler
University in Indianapolis to take part in the all-state
contest.

Denver was the destination of the band which began
this year’s tour on April 25 and continued until May 3.
Concerts were played at many other points of interest

Formed in 1945, the Marching Band has provided many
splendid half time programs in formations, designs and in arrange-
ment of music. This year the Marching Band featured Fall
Dance Recital,” “Trip to Europe,” “Salute to Sports,” “Winter
Wonderland,” and “Boy Meets Girl.” Performing with the Indi-
ana University Marching 100 was one of the outstanding events

of the marching season. Hobart's marching band along with
4054 other high school band students took part in Indiana Univer-
sity’s annual High School Day program presented during the halt
time and again at the end of the Indiana University-Marquette
College football game.

Strutting high, dressed all in white

led the Marching Band in its half time
programs and other appearances.

Dum, de dum, dun. - the Dragnet theme with formations was one ot the
ost modern and striking themes the Marching Band has presented before football
ms. The beat of drums and the toots of horns could be heard from early morn-
ig until long after school as hand members tramped up and down the field to
erfect their half time programs.

Give to the Community Building Fund." Raising money for the com-
munity building was one of the main objectives of the student council this
year. While the students knew it was impossible for them to finance the
entire building, their contributions went a long way toward buying new
modern scoreboards and showed their desire for the new building.

In an effort to awaken the people of the
town to the need for a new gymnasium, the
Student Council headed many projects this
year. Posters showing the inadequate facil-
ities of the shower and locker rooms and
the crowded condition of the gym. were dis-
played in downtown store windows. Then
containers were placed in the classrooms,
and a barrel in the locker room to prompt
students to contribute to the building fund,
thus showing the townspeople how enthusi-
astically the students are backing this project.
At sectional time, the Student Council, to-
gether with the cheerleaders, made arrange-
ments with the Hobart and Gary police for
a car caravan to journey to Memorial audi-
torium. Led by Yohan, the Spirit of Hobart
high, in the person of Russell Elisha, the
enthusiastic Brickie fans soon filled the cheer-
ing section and backed their team right down
to the last second of the finals.

Greeting the parents on Back to School night was one oi
the projects that the Britannican chapter of Future Teachers of
America undertook this year. The purpose of the F.T.A. is to
give helpful advice to students who are planning to teach.

Smiling faces are one of the many pleasant rewards an F.T.A.
member receives while substituting for school teachers. Grading
tests and assignment papers is another duty of the club members.
F.T.A. members attended the teachers’ workshop where they par-
ticipated in interesting discussion groups. Most of them attended
the discussion on “How much homework should he Assigned to
students.”

Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and
Service paid off as 23 thrilled and excited
seniors were inducted into the National
Honor society during an impressive cere-
mony on November 4, 1953. Members are
chosen on scholastic standing, activity points,
and teachers’ recommendations.

. . . national
honor society

The giving up of a few noon hours and
the wearing down of much pencil lead pro-
duced these happy faces of the home room
who had the highest scholastic average for
a six weeks’ period. Averaging the grades
for each home room at the end of each
six weeks is one of the projects that the
National Honor Society has established. A
spaghetti supper honoring students who
maintained a 2.5 average for the first se-
mester was sponsored by the Honor Society.

Checking out books is one of the many
appreciated services rendered to the students
by members of the Librarians’ club. This
and other services help them to accumulate
credits for letters and chevrons, awarded at
the end of the year. In addition to work
there’s time out for social functions such
as the annual Christmas party and the candle-
light initiation service.

. . . librarians'
club . . .

Placing book jackets on the bulletin
board is only one of the many duties of
the Librarians. Dusting books and shelves,
checking out textbooks and workbooks, and
keeping track of “mislaid” books are a few
of the other chores these girls perform.

. . . audio - visual club . . .

It does get a little monotonous at times. A member of the
Audio-Visual Club is threading the projector. After setting every-
thing up, he can sit back, relax, and enjoy a movie. The most
unpleasant job of the Audio-Visual boys is carrying the equip-
ment to classes, but all in all the boys must enjoy showing movies
because they continue to be in the club year after year.

Students of Hobart high are always glad to see a member
of the Audio-Visual club arrive because that means no reading
out of books. Members of the club show- movies in various
classes. Two boys here are learning how to splice film. This
knowledge really comes in handy when a film breaks in the
middle of a movie.

61

The proud look on the faces of these girls symbolizes team
play, fair play, and sportsmanship, the three main objectives
of the G.A.A. This club affords girls the opportunity to par-
ticipate in such athletic events as volleyball, deck tennis, and
basketball. By taking part in these activities, they learn and
practice team play, fair play, and sportsmanship. The girls
shown here are Eleanor Reisinger, treasurer; Carol Whittaker,
secretary: Judy Killens, president; Jane Webber, vice president;
Nancy Bessigano, secretary; and Minnie Sue French, treasurer.

A formal initiation, complete with membership ribbons and
candlelight, welcomed new members into the G.A.A. club. This
club has performed such services for the school as a bake sale and
an after-the-game dance, with the proceeds going toward the new
Community Building. For social activities, the club collaborated
with the Debuteen groups for a most successful Semi-formal.

. . . ushers' club . . .

Bright eyes and smiling faces greeted you if you attended
any school function this year. The Ushers' club was formed
for the first time last year. A Yohan holding the name Ushers’
Club is the emblem for the club.

Relaxing between eonvos! It’s really deserved because getting
1000 students in and out of that tiny gym for two eonvos is not an
easy task. Besides ushering for eonvos, they also worked at con-
certs and all of the football games and basketball games.

62

Debate club has really traveled around this year. They
went to Purdue for the eonvention, to Merrillville to give a
demonstration and to Tew Wallaee. They also gave a debate
for the Hobart Woman's club. At club meetings, members
polish U[1 their debating techniques and learn the more intricate
ways of winning a debate.

. . . debate club . . .

Resolved, That the American people should elect the President
by a direct vote was the question. The answer is your own opinion.
Members of the Debate club gave their views on this topic at all
debate contests they entered. The Debate club had a wonderful
record this year and it really took a lot of hard work, long hours
of practice and research.

. . . home economics club . . .

The Home Economics club, newly organized this year, provides
a time and place for girls to work on hobbies or make new things
for their wardrobes, as these two members are doing. Girls with
interest in creative work find this a challenge. Hearing and seeing
others' view points and suggestions create enthusiasm among members.

Boy! Someone must have really worked to knit this sweater!
The Home Economics club has proved very profitable to its
members. They not only learn how to knit but also how to
sew and crochet. They have lessons in handicraft too.

63

Members of the Chemistry club are experimenting with
the distillation of water. The Chemistry club entered projects
in the Science Fair. One project is the formation of sulphur
or copper sulphate crystals, which are very beautiful. Not all
experiments are beautiful: for instance, the making of hydrogen
sulfide (or the smell of rotten eggs to you! is anything hut
beautiful.

Who knows — one of these students may he another Clint Youle .
Physics club and classes mav he the beginning of a weathermans
career. Each member of the Physics duh made a project for the
Science Fair. One of the projects that was made was a ham radio
set. The Physics club also studies mechanics of air and liquids and
electronics.

These members of the Photography club are setting up a
shot of a still life picture. This type of picture is very hard
to photograph because they have to show depth. Hats off to
the members of the Photography club for taking most of the
pictures in the yearbook. “Memories" would be impossible

Eeek, a mouse! It doesn't seem to bother this girl, or maybe
she's scared to death. It has been said that this mouse was loose
in school one day: so if you have no love for little animals stay

animal life but plant life as well.

occasion by wearing togas and bringing Christmas greetings

“Measure that paper straight!" “Wrap
those streamers evenly!” “Be careful of your
fingers!” This is much of the conversation
that went on when the members of the
Booster Club got together to make pom-
poms for one of the basketball games. This
club gives much of its support to the
athletic teams and projects of the student
body.

"Win this game! On to fame!” was
heard at many a hall game. The Booster
club’s purpose is to promote team and school
spirit. They did several things throughout
the year to promote enthusiasm, spirit, and
good sportsmanship. One of the highlights
of the football season was at the Gary Edison
vs. Hobart game when just before the team
came onto the field, a huge paper doorway
was dropped from the goal post. The cheer-
leaders lead the team, crashing through the
doorway, as team boosters madly waved
their pom-poms and cheered their entrance.

The poster “Give to the Heart Fund” dis-
plays just one of the charity projects that
the Debuteen, Jinx, and the Sub-Deb clubs
sponsor. The clubs sponsored several other
charity drives such as the Red Cross, Cloth-
ing and Polio collections, explained the
need of clothing drives, and gave informa-
tion about polio.

One of the heart warming experiences was
a letter from a child in Europe telling how
much people appreciated the clothing the
United States sends. The clubs also gave
helpful information about symptoms of polio.

The Jinx, Debuteen, and Sub-Deb club mem-

Besides aiding in services for the benefit
of their school and community, the Debu-
teens, Jinx, and Sub-Debs are also social
clubs. The tremendous success of the annual
Semi-formal, this year christened “Blue
Ha waii,” was the peak of their social activi-
ties. Other social events were a skating
party, each girl bringing a guest, and a pot-
luck, with just members enjoying the array
of tempting dishes. The fine fellowship ex-
perienced during their social occasions will
long be remembered as high points of their
club activities.

There is a switfness, a brisk, staccato tempo connected with sports that
may be associated with no other activity in high school. Just as a coloratura
soprano attempts to reach high C, thus does an athletic team strive for the
summit — victory lies there. Victory, however, is not all that is to be attained.
Seldom is there the feeling that one team has bested another for glory's
sake alone. Each individual may experience a spirit of sportsmanship and
teamwork, a sense of accomplishment, and one of the deepest feelings of
satisfaction that the material world offers.

. . . calumet conference champs

Copping the Calumet conference grid title for the
third straight year and battling their way to a state
ranking of thirteenth made up the highlights of the
Brickie fooball season. The mighty Deal-men all but
ran wild as they finished the season with an 8-2 record.

In their opening game of the season Brickies played
host to the Oilers of Whiting here. The mighty Oiler
team was held scoreless in the first half, but pushed
across the only score of the evening in the last period
as rain-soaked on-lookers saw the Brickies downed 6-0.

After their opening defeat Brickie gridders took
to the road and avenged all with a bounding 26-0 vic-
tory over the hapless Eagles of East Gary. From here

the Deal-men returned to home premises and presented
the Hobart on-lookers with another 26-0 victory, only
this time over the Lowell Red Devils.

The next week saw the valiant Vikings of Valpo
traversing Brickie bowl, seeking to avenge the 33-0
defeat handed to them by the Brickies the year before.
A bruising battle proceeded as the Vikings eked out a
meager 14-13 win after Brickie backers saw a last min-
ute, would-be-winning touchdown called back.

Traveling to Griffith, the Brickie grid machine
ground out a gruelling 19-12 win over the Panthers
for another conference triumph. Coming back to Brickie
bowl, the gridders presented a 6-0 victory over inde-
